Well known as a photographer in La Paz from 1898 to 1940, after which his two sons carried on the family business until their deaths in the 1960s and 70s, Julio Cordero founded a family archive that contains some 50,000 photographs. This catalog of sepia photos captures the life, customs, and rich cultural heritage of Bolivia in 74 images made from 1900 to 1961, from a line of cavalrymen on their mounts, standing in hoof-deep water for a dramatic group portrait, to the touching portrait of a 12-year-old indigenous young woman arrested for theft, one of many mug shots made for the La Paz police. The text and captions are in English and Spanish.
